About QFC

In the weeks leading up to the famous crossing of the Delaware River during the Revolutionary War, it has been said that General George Washington made some of his battle plans to lead the volunteer Continental Army in Pittstown. It is without doubt, that volunteer sprit from our community helped propel our new country to success during that pivotal period. Over 200 years later, much of that sprit and sense of community remains.

Founded in 1914 and reorganized in 1951, the Quakertown Fire Company is a combination fire and EMS department located in a fast-growing area of Hunterdon County. The Quakertown Fire Company provides primary fire protection and rescue services to all of Franklin Township, and portions of Union and Alexandria Townships. Mutual aid services are provided to a significant portion of Hunterdon County through pre designated box alarms, task forces and strike teams. The Quakertown Fire Company is a New Jersey Department of Health licensed Basic Life Support agency, providing emergency medical treatment and transport as a primary agency in sections of Franklin, Union, and Alexandria Townships, as well as mutual aid to surrounding areas.

The Quakertown Fire Company has always striven to be a progressive organization. Over the last 40 years, our members have been instrumental in major changes within the local fire service.

These changes include:

- Hunterdon County's first fire department operated rescue truck (91-82)

- Hunterdon County's first rescue-engine (91-68)

- The formation of the Hunterdon County Technical Rescue Task Force

- Beginning efforts to provide on scene decontamination and reduce fire-related cancer as a result of carcinogen exposure

- Becoming one of two fire departments in Hunterdon County to provide Basic Life Support transport services

- Becoming a charter member of the North Hunterdon Fire Alliance, improving mutual aid and shared services in northern Hunterdon County.

The biggest change seen in Quakertown was our decision to end our 50-year stint as a independent company in 2002 and to attempt to become the first new Fire District in NJ in over 3 years. We were successful thanks and currently most of our funds for fire-related opertions come from Franklin Twp District No. 1 Board of Fire Commissioners.

Our responses have clearly been on the increase as the area grows in population. In 1980, QFC responded to 65 fire calls. Today we average 767 dispatches and each year it increases.

Our organization will face challenges in the future. Whether it’s the higher burden being placed on our unit or the growing population in the community, the Quakertown Fire Company volunteers will stand ready to protect our citizens.

That truck would be wildly popular today if QFC still had it. Parade truck!
